COMBINED PUMP-JACK AND ENGINE Specification 0;: Letters ratent.

Application filed July 26, Serial No. 509,581.

To all wiwm it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK D. WINKLEY, v

a citizen of the United States, residing at Madison, in the county of Dane and. State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Pump-Jack and Engine Bases, of which the many of the features described and claimed in United States Letters Patent No. 925,147,

granted to me on June 15th, 1909, and no claim will be herein made to anythingclaimed i said patent. The present invention is, owever, designed to .add to the utility of the structure and to extend its field as a general farm motor, and at the same time secure a simple and rigid con-= struction.

By the peculiar construction adopted I secure a jackwhich may be attached to-any ordinary type of pump so. as to operate the latter in a satisfactory manner, adapt the structure to the reception of any typeof cylinder and working parts of an engine, be read ly and secure a device which'may attached as a Whole to an existing pump without the construction of, special founda tions or supports.

The device-is intended particularly for use with an engine of the internal combustion type, and 1n this case by mounting the batteries, gasolene tank, carbureter, etc.,

upon appropriate parts of the engine, the p device becomes entirely self-contained.

A further and important object of the invention is to render the engine mounted on this base available for other purposes when not used for pumping, or'to permit adjuste above said floor.

outfit is therefore adapted to such purposes as the operation of cream separators, fanning mills, and the like.

A structure embodying the essential princ-lples of my invention is illustratedin the accompanying drawings, wherein:

F lgure 1 is a perspective view ofa jack Patented Jan. 3, 1911.

attached to a port-ion of a' ump, the connecting mechanism between t e jack and the movmgparts of the pump being omitted, as are the cylinder and upper portions of the eng1ne; Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view of the casting forming the crank and ear case; Fig. 3 is a detail-sectional view 0 the cast ing forming the base-plate; Fi at is a sectional elevation taken on'the ine b-b of Flg. 5; Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional elevation on the line aa. of Fig. 4; andFig. 6

is an elevation .of the pump with my invention attached thereto.

Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the drawings. I

Referring. to the drawin s, 1 represents the pump to which the jack 18 attached, and

2 represents the baserpla-te of the jack. This base-plate is attached to the pump by flanged clamps 3 and 4c held by bolts 5.' The height of attachment of the base-plate to the pump may thus be adjusted'to suit the needs of each particular case. The forward end of the base-plate 2 is carried by ,uprights 6, threaded at their-upper ends for nconsidera'ble distance, and clamped by e nuts 7 to the wings or lugs 8 formed on said baseplate. The supports 6 are carried in a sill 9, or may be attached to the floor, and by changing the position of the nuts 7 may be .to the height of the base-plate 2 Diagonal braces 10 of strap iron, and a diagonal brace ll'formed of-round stock, brace the supports 6 and the sill 9 in two directions, so t at sufficient rigiditg is secured for the base-plate 2.

A jacent to the pump are bearings 12 for a transverse shaft 13. This shaft-l3 carries on one end a crank 14, and on the other end a large gear 15. Thecrank 14 is parallel to a sp0ke 1=6 of the gear, and the s oke and v crank are provided. with a series o holes 17 adapted to receive crank-pins 18,. To thesecrank-pins are attached connecting rods 46 (Fig. 4), which are so connected to the pis ton-rod .47 of the pump as to impart a' reciprocating motion to the latter. At the forward end of the base-plate 2 is mounted the casting 19 attached by bolts 20 passing through the flanges 19*, and the base-plate 2. This casting 19 is provided with a rearward projection 21 adjacent to the base-plate 2, and the base plate 2, casting. 19, and its projection 21 are so designed as to form the two halves of divided bearings 22 for a longitudinal shaft 23. The base-plate 2 is .further provided with a downwardly projecting lobe or shell 24, which serves as a case and oil pan for a large gear 25 and a bevel gear 26, the latter meshing with the large bevel gear 15, while the former meshes with a small 7 pinion 27 mounted on the engine crank such as to closely envelop the gears, and by retaining the oil which will drip down from the crank case above, will thoroughly lubricate these two gears. The forming of this lobe 24 in the casting tends to reduce its strength, and to reinforce the'bed-plate I provide a rib 29 running longitudinally on the under side of the bed-plate and lobe 24, and extending the entire length of the casting.

As already stated, the castin 19 is attached to the base-plate by anges and bolts, but as clearly shown in Fig. 5, the face of the flanges 19 do not contact over their entire surface, but are recessed so as to bear only adjacent to the divided bearing 22 and at their edges. Further, the flanges do not extend throughout the length of the contact of the two castings, and

where the flanges are not provided the shell of the casting 19 is machined to meet the upper face of the base-plate 2, and form an oil-tight, or approximately oil-tight, joint therewith. In its general form the casting 19 consists of three connected shells or chambers. Of these the largest is the crank case. Projecting rearwardly from the crank case is a second and smaller chamber 30 adapted to form a case for the small pinion 27 carried upon the crank shaft 28. The third chamber is that which forms the upper half of the case for the gears 25 and 26', the lower half being formed as already described, in

the base-plate 2.

The crank shaft 28 is mounted at its rear end in a bearing 31 cast integrally with the shell 19, and projectin rearwardly from the gear case 30. The orward face of the crank case is formed with a large opening, and this latter is closed by a late 32 held by bolts 33. This plate 32a so carries a bearing 34 forthe forward end of the crank shaft; This plate may also be provided with hearing 35 to carry i niter, governor, or other mechanism. This bearing is shown merely to represent a means for attachin such devices. Similarly, the gears 36 an 37 are shown merely to illustrate a possible method of driving valve-operating mechanism- These details are largely dependent on the type of engine used, and may be varied at will. It will be noted that by carrying these parts on the plate 32, and by manufacturing a series of interchangeable plates, 1 might vary my valve'mechanism at will, changing only the plate 32 to accommodate the various types. I might thus manufacture two or three types of cylinder and head with difierent valve gears,- governors, 1gniters, and other details, designed to operateieither on the two or four stroke cycle, and from a commercial standpoint the interchangeable use of all the castings for the base portion is a very valuable feature.

Access is had to the crank case by means of a pivoted cover 38 held closed by a screw clamp 39. The lubrication of the piston is effected by allowing oil to flow'into an annular groove 40 formed near the top of the crank case in such a way that the edges of the piston will dip into its contained oil in their lowest position. The upper face of the crank case 1s provided with a flange 41, to which may be bolted the cylinder. The bearing 31 and the upper half of the bearing 22 are braced together by an interconnecting flange 42, and the crank case is braced to the flanges 19 by ribs 43. The gear guard 44 protects a portion of the face of gear 15.

The above description sets forth a complete structure operating as a pump jack. The additional feature, namely, the means for deriving power from the engine for other purposes, is as follows: The shaft 23 projects beyond its bearings at the forward end, and is provided with a pulley 45 to which the device to be driven may be belted.

The gearing ratios may readily be designed to give the best speed for the particular purpose, both to shaft 23 and shaft 13. For lnstance, in a practical embodiment of the device it has been found desirable to use a motor running at about 500 revolutions per minute, and it has been found that about 30 strokes per minute of the pump was the best adapted to the general run of umps in common use. These two speeds eing determined, it was simple to so adapt the ratios of gears 27 and 25 and 26 and 15 that the pulley 45 should revolve at a speed of 155 revolutions per minute, which was believed to be a good average s eed. Further speed change. may be contro ed by the size of the pulley elted to the pulley 45.

The mechanism constructed as above set forth possesses several advantages. It is readily attached to any type of, pump and the engine is none the less available as a source of light power for other purposes, without detaching the base from the pump and without regard to whether or not the engine is operatively connected to the piston-rod of the pump. This is a particularly desirable feature on farms and in rural districts, this being the purpose for which the outfit was originally designed. The possibility of using various types of engine with the same base casting and the readiness with which the whole device may be removed from the pump or taken apart without so detaching it, are also-valuable characteristics.

It is believed that the operation of the device "will be understood without a detailed description, and consequently none is given.
